This book explores seven centuries of changing fortunes for Cyprus through the Famagusta region and examines the Eastern Mediterranean world through the lens of the Armenian Church as a ‘constant’. An examination of the society through art, architecture, archives, and ‘hard sciences’ escorts the reader from the era of the crusades, through the rise and fall of empires, to the political stasis of the present day. From the wealth and influence of the French Lusignans, via the artistry and military ingenuity of Venetian renaissance, followed by the silence of three centuries of Ottoman rule then incorporation into British Empire, the book examines seven centuries of change in the Eastern Mediterranean and on the island of Cyprus. Recently, as late as the 1970s, the Armenian Church even became home for displaced villagers during the inter-ethnic problems that plagued the post-independence era and led in turn to the Turkish intervention of 1974, after which it became a military storage facility and eventually fell into abandonment. Through an analysis of this society, this book represents a first history into the Armenian community from the 14th century to present and a probing analysis into the art and architecture it left behind.

Famagusta Maritima: Mariners, Merchants, Pilgrims and Mercenaries presents a collection of scholarly studies spanning the thousand year history of the port of Famagusta in Cyprus. This historic harbour city was at the heart of the Crusading Lusignan dynasty, a possession of both Genoa and Venice during the Renaissance, a port of the Ottoman Empire for three centuries, and in time, a strategic naval and intelligence node for the British Empire. It is a maritime space made famous by the realities of its extraordinary importance and influence, followed by its calamitous demise. Contributors are: Michele Bacci, Lucie Bonato, Tomasz Borowski, Mike Carr, Pierre-Vincent Claverie, Dragos Cosmescu, Nicholas Coureas, Marko Kiessel, Antonio Musarra, William Spates, Asu Tozan, Ahmet Usta, and Michael Walsh.

The Harbour of All This Sea and Realm offers an overview of the Lusignan, Genoese and Venetian history of the main port city of Cyprus, a Mediterranean crossroads. The essays contribute to the understanding of Famagusta's social and administrative structure, as well as the influences on its architectural, artisan, and art historical heritage from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. We read of crusader bishops from central France, metalworkers from Asia Minor, mercenaries from Genoa, refugees from Acre, and traders from Venice. The themes of the city's diasporas and cultural hybridity permeate and unify the essays in this collaborative effort. Some of the studies use archival sources to reconstruct the early stages of appearances of various buildings. Such research is of vital importance, given the threat to Famagusta's medieval and early modern heritage by its use as a military base since 1974.
